Making a Difference

RI Food Bank Community Kitchen

In April, at the RI Food Bank’s Community Kitchen, Chef and co-founder Rollie Wesen demonstrated how to make roux and its application in Velouté and Gumbo.

The Jacques Pépin Foundation Working with the Community

The Community Kitchen at the Rhode Island Food Bank is a great example of the organizations that the Jacques Pépin Foundation supports. Low-income and jobless adults participate in a 14 week, full time course that teaches the culinary, job and life skills required to enter the workforce as a food service professional.

2020 Relief Campaign

In 2020, the Jacques Pépin Foundation planned to provide $200,000 in grants. We have now begun to honor pledges with grants to Hot Bread Kitchen and the Food Bank for New York City. To continue this effort, we need your help. For our 2020 Relief Campaign, we are offering a limited number of prints of Jacques' artwork. The need of our country's under-served citizens, and now restaurant workers is greater than ever. Please help us support our partners, fighting on the front lines of hunger relief. Thank you, stay well and be kind.
